Welcome to my class!

2015-2016

Hello and welcome to Kindergarten! My name is Mrs. Stifter and I am so excited to be your child's teacher this year! As the new school year approaches, I'd like to tell you a bit about myself. This is my third year as a teacher at Winsted Elementary and I am thrilled to be a part of the Laker family. Before becoming a full-time teacher, I was a substitute teacher at the HLWW district for almost 5 years.

I earned my Bachelor's degree at the University of MN (Go Gophers!), and my licensure from Crown College. I reside in Montrose with my husband, Jake, and our two boys. Logan is 5 years old and will be attending Kindergarten at Winsted this year; Noah is 2 and loves to laugh! Our family enjoys being outdoors more than anything. We love camping, going for walks and playing at the park. We also love to read, and this is a passion that I am so excited to bring into my classroom with your child! I think that reading is the key to all doorways in life, and literacy filters into every subject matter. Using the Daily 5 reading program, we will emphasize this importance and make your child a strong reader and a strong learner.

I cannot wait to work with you throughout this school year, as I know it will be a great one! Please don't hesitate to contact me for any reason!
